Oz, my thoughts are along the lines of -- I'd rather keep the site on a positive note. The companies that provide poor service, in whatever guise, are known to those that have dealt with them, and the Forum members are willing enough to tell you whom those are. Ask -- you'll get a response. I know, I know -- it's a clunky way to find out something, and simply referring to a list of bad guys would be easier. But I want to think of the long-term viability of the site -- and that includes making it a place where potential advertisers would like to spend a few bucks promoting their products. If such a firm were to sign on and see that I've put up a list of "bad companies" -- said advertiser might well be less likely to spend a buck on landracing.com, if for no other reason than as a simple show of support to another business-person. That is -- "If they bad-mouth" him -- maybe they'd do the same to me."
I don't mean to say that I'll request anyone from keeping bad experiences with vendors to himself and not on this site -- but I don't want to promote that with a topic on the Forum.
I will promise, though -- that if there's a definite instance where a firm is delivering bad service or product -- I'll heartily endorse negative comments about it.
How's that?
